Hats Off

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday!
Today I want to share a card I created
using one of the new digital stamps sets released this month at

I had fun creating this project using DP from DCWV,
a spider web cut with a cricut cartridge, a tag
from K & Company, plastic spiders and the stamp set called
"Hats Off".



Beccy designed this set so the hats can be worn
on other images. This way you can turn
an everyday image into something specific for an occasion! 
Or you can use them alone as the focal on your project.
This makes the set very versatile and look 
at all the sentiments included!
I hope you'll check this set out along with
all the others available at
and don't forget to check out the monthly
"Anything Goes" Challenge
